Description
Moab, one of Utah’s great outdoor adventure cities, is parked in the center of some of the state's grandest desert scenery. Not only situated between two national parks, the area is filled with plenty of smaller, but no less dramatic sites to explore.
Arches National Park features the world’s greatest cluster of natural rock arches, but more of these natural wonders are spread throughout this desert landscape. Found along Potash Mine Road, Corona Arch is one the area’s special features. Constructed by nature’s own workshop, Corona Arch appears as one of the best examples of a sandstone rock arch. Arch hunters will find this one protruding from a cliff wall into an open amphitheater in Bootlegger Canyon. Its smooth shaped opening measures 140 feet by 105 feet, offering a dramatic view from either side. Hikers under the arch offer some sense of scale of this immense arch. It’s a mile and a half hike. Explorers first follow an old roadbed and then the trail crosses a well marked barren slickrock landscape.
